I just find it odd that many guys lose form and are suddenly injured. In India at least I recall Dhawan and Rahul and now Vijay seemingly injured out of nowhere. Too lazy to recollect and list all instances but its way too many times now I read that so and so is injured without anyone knowing and I go "wow, that's convenient, as we all thought he will get dropped"... Might just be me building sand castles here but its been curious.

Sat out weeks with a shoulder injury recently so no conspiracy, just another reason why he should never have been picked in the first place

Perhaps he should have said Stoinis is a long term prospect that we want to have around the setup.
(like Swepson and Agar)
Because on his record and on form the selectors are making themselves look foolish.

I don't actually know that he is tbh. Henriques is a better bat than both.

Henriques seams to be a more likely choice, however the bowling seams the reason Stoinis was given the nod. I can't believe that but he's taken a few poles lately.
To me Henriques and Faulkner are better choices as both have significant experience playing in India and the subcontinent, albeit mostly T20 for Forkers

Dunno if Forkers form with the bat is good enough at six but then Moises aside neither is that of the others. I'd rate his cutters on these decks though. Even more so if we had a keeper who could stand up to the stumps to them.
